Free Wi-Fi Finder Goes Universal With Some Additional Improvements

September 22, 2010
What's better than free Wi-Fi access? Knowing where to find it. Free Wi-Fi Finder is now a convenient universal iOS app that can help you easily find free access Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the world on any iDevice you own. JiWire's latest update to their Free Wi-Fi Finder app brings a native iPad UI and compatibility with improved searching and mapping, plus better optimization for iOS 4. All iDevices now have access to viewing nearby free Wi-Fi hotspots, manual search, favorites list, recent hotspot list, and the capability to store the free Wi-Fi database on your iDevice for offline manipulation. After locating a desirable hotspot, you can tap on it to get more details. Tapping on a hotspot pin will display the business name and address, plus access to directions, and possibly a phone number. Additionally, you can add this hotspot to your favorites, or you can share the hotspot via a tweet or Facebook post. If you find that a hotspot is closed or no longer free, report it as closed. iPad owners have the superb convenience of nearly everything on screen simultaneously. That doesn't mean that things are any clumsier on the iPhone and iPod touch, they just take a couple extra taps sometimes. For iPhone and iPod touch, use the "Share this location" menu to "Report Closed Hotspot." Also on iPhone and iPod touch, the Options menu, in map view, allows adding a location to the recent list, locking the current map pins, and filtering hotspots by business type. Free Wi-Fi Finder has a database of over 100,000 hotspots worldwide, providing a good likelihood you'll have one in a reasonable vicinity. The universal version of Free Wi-Fi Finder is available in the App Store now with a cost of absolutely nothing to your wallet. [gallery link="file"]
